the foreign ministry has also issued here from china, all the way to mexico, where it's made into the united states. china is one of the world's biggest producer of chemicals, and that's one of the reasons why the us believes that the flow of fenta nyl starts here. it has said it is monitoring these chemicals, try to kerb this flow. and that china has one of the strictest drug policies in the world. and i think that's what many

people in the world buyers of soybeans. it brings it here and turns it into a soy sauce. farmers incredibly hard. you can see how easy this could be to spiral. so what does it do? i think interestingly, in the statements it urges the united states to meet china half way. and of course, there's been much talk here about a potential deal between the us and china. and that is because a 10%

tariff is not the 60% and, two, what does donald trump want in return? now, one of the things that analysts believe is that president trump might be trying to influence and help end the war in ukraine. that's because last time when he came as president, so is he looking for a similar deal with vladimir putin this time? also, there could be the potential that he's these are the kind of negotiations that on between the us and china. is that it could reset

relations between the two. it could stop the trade war spiralling if they go badly. well, it could set up a real competition between the two world's leading economies. more reaction to those terrace being imposed by the trump on the bbc —— tariffs. this morning to talk about the government's plans to strengthen laws against artificial intelligence and child abuse. and laura's other guests had to say. so she was talking about the reasons for introducing material being generated by ai. and she talked about why it was important. she said 800,000 adults a year in the assessment child abuse material,

laws to outlaw the use and also much stronger penalties to use ai for abuse. relationship with europe. and ed davey was talking about keir starmer when he goes to brussels tomorrow. growth, would boost, would boost trade and boost the economy. our public services so we can get inflation down, and if that means doing what we're already having but you say it would be helpful to grow our economy. let's just take a look at what's been going on with european growth. those people who are in the eu and therefore

are trading like that. here is the last quarter. average was 0.1%. actually, when you look at france, it shrank. germany shrank. so you're suggesting that if only we went that doesn't stack up, does it? no. growth, because in some cases their growth is worse than ours. you've shown a few countries, there are other countries that are growing more strongly than that. but that's not my argument. my argument is that trade deals are mutually beneficial. andrew griffith, was also on the show. relationship with trump. and he said that would also help avoid the threat of tariffs, which we've already seen trump begin to implement.

but to do that, you've got to get in the room. talked about the chagos, attacks on freedom of speech that to one side. let's get in the room with our friends in the united states. that doesn't take anything away from the existing we had the with the eu, but the big economic opportunity now is on that side of the atlantic. and remember, the us is growing very strongly. and that question of how to maintain a relationship to dominate politics in the weeks ahead.

it's a growing issue. laws like this? we live in such a fast—paced world that it is literally scary for people who are victims of this type about two years ago and began tracking it. of its type in the world to take this specific action. and yes, of course, we all wish that we could be constantly ahead of these criminal trends, but in this case, it is a big step forward to keep more children safe and what's your assessment of how successful, effective,
